Death Star Arrives at LEGO Star Wars Miniland at LEGOLAND California
Carlsbad, CA, USA – The LEGO Star Wars Miniland Death Star Model Display has arrived to LEGOLAND California Resort. The planet shaped LEGO model, made out of more than a half million LEGO bricks, stands 13-feet high, 8-feet wide and weighs more than 1,900 pounds. The LEGO Death Star is the largest LEGO model to be added to LEGO Star Wars Miniland and opens to guests on March 5.
Under the watchful eye of R2-D2, a team of builders used a fork lift to maneuver the massive LEGO model into position high above LEGO Star Wars Miniland, which opened to guests in 2011. The LEGO Death Star is designed from the version featured in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The new model display also features the famous trench run scene where Luke Skywalker maneuvered his X-Wing fighter through the combat zone to destroy the Death Star. Below the LEGO Death Star, guests are invited to use their imaginations to construct their own LEGO starships at building stations, while LEGO X-Wings, Tie Fighters and Y-Wings circle overhead.
The unveiling of the new LEGO Death Star on March 5 kicks-off the fan favorite, LEGO Star Wars Days event on March 7 and 8, where guests can spend the day participating in Star Wars related activities. LEGO Star Wars Miniland Death Star Model Display is included in the cost of admission to LEGOLAND California Resort..
